- Ferry
- Passenger and vehicle ferries run Koman–Fierzë, typically ~2.5 hours

In parole semplici
Lake Koman is not a natural lake — it was made by a dam on the Drin river. The water fills a very narrow canyon, and a passenger ferry runs along it. Many travellers take the boat just for the scenery on the way to Valbonë.
